# Whispering Raindrops

The intense heat of May and June has a massive impact on humans, plants, animals, and work in general. As we struggle with heat exhaustion, heatstroke, discomfort and fatigue, we also eagerly await the arrival of the monsoon. The rain brings with it a sense of hope, happiness, and gratitude.

As the dark clouds gathered and the first drops of rain fell, I could feel a surge of joy and anticipation within me. The parched earth eagerly soaked up the rain, transforming the barren land into a vibrant tapestry of life. I marveled at the resilience of nature, which teaches me the lesson of hope. No matter how dry and desolate life may seem, the rain of hope can bring forth new beginnings and revitalization.


I would often spend my days reading, writing and of course exploring the blooms in my green zone by observing the miracles that unfolds during the monsoon. I notice how the flowers bloom, paint the landscape with their vibrant hues. The freshly washed leaves on trees make it look so beautiful. The realization that happiness can be found in the simplest of things, and it is our ability to appreciate the beauty around us that brings true joy.

One stormy evening, as I sat by my window, I reflected on the lessons I had learned. Suddenly the raindrops danced on the windowpane, their rhythmic patter creating a soothing melody. I realized that even in the midst of life's storms, there is always something to be grateful for. The presence of people who care for you & the love that they have for you no matter what...The rain that poured relentlessly reminded me of the importance of gratitude. I decided to embrace a grateful heart, acknowledging the blessings that came my way, big or small.

I realized that the lessons of hope, happiness, and gratitude were not limited to the rainy days alone. They were lessons meant to be carried in the hearts of all, no matter the season or circumstance, hope could sprout in the darkest times, happiness could be found in the simplest joys, and gratitude could fill every moment with meaning.

Monsoon Rains serve as a reminder that hope, happiness, and gratitude are not elusive treasures. They are ever-present, waiting to be discovered and nurtured within ourselves. By embracing these lessons, we can transform our lives and the world around us, just as the monsoon transforms the barren earth into a thriving paradise.

And so now, with a heart filled with hope and the soul overflowing with gratitude, I learn to live a life with no grudges, unpleasantness or remorse. Let me embrace self-love, self-care and a large heart to let go of all that does not need to be part of my life just like the freshly washed leaves of the trees after the severe burns of summer heat gets transformed with the whispering raindrops...

I am passionate about bringing positive change in people through logical reasoning and powerful impacts.

# The Golden Shower- Kani Konna Poovu & Saleem

Image
  The Kani Konna Poovu or the  Golden Shower flowers   or  the  Cassia Fistula (scientific name) blooms as the time for Kerala’s harvest festival, Vishu approaches, which falls on April 14 every year.  It is observed as the New Year falling on the Vernal Equinox. The  Kani Konna Poovu  is popularly used as the part of the “ Vishukkani ”, the ritual first thing seen on Vishu . The  Kani Konna Poovu  is also Kerala’s state flower. So, at The Health Village   in Aluva, Kerala, Valsa & the other staff enthusiastically arranged for the  Vishukkani to be kept in the office. I looked at the flower laden  Golden Shower tree and   at once decided to keep the Vishukkani in my room. After taking support of the staff I managed almost all the needed articles. The only thing left was the  Kani Konna Poovu ( the  Golden Shower flowers). As I sat at the bench overlooking the River Periyar  wondering as to how I would get the  Kani Konna Poovu... That was when  out of no where  Saleem -the n

"Wanderlust and Camaraderie: Unleashing Empowerment Through Travel"

Planning my first all-women's international trip was a journey in itself. Initially, my mind was a whirlwind of contemplation. Could I really step away from my responsibilities at home—my family, my kids, my work? It felt almost impossible to prioritize myself over these demands. But with loads of encouragement from my husband and a leap of faith, I decided to take the plunge. As I joined the group of incredible women on a trip to Georgia , I realized how much I had been craving this experience. Each day was a lesson in embracing life and learning from others. Urvashi's leadership left me deeply impressed; she effortlessly guided us, bringing the group together with her wisdom, wit, and invaluable wellness tips. Age is just a number, a sentiment beautifully echoed by Saddo Aapa, our cutest and most energetic elderly companion. Anuradha Di’s exceptional group management and Rehana Aapa’s nurturing care were invaluable. Finni Di’s grace added elegance to every interaction, whil

The woman that I am

Born in a family which welcomed the birth of a girl child whole heartedly, I considered myself lucky to have enjoyed the girlhood stage of my life. Staying in the northern part of the country most of my life, I often witnessed gender discrimination in the neighborhood families. The anti-girl attitude was tough to understand especially when my sister and I were never made to feel unimportant by our parents. Our mother was subjected to sympathy from the women around for having two daughters and she was also constantly advised to have a third child who may happen to be a son. In my growing years I even heard women saying that I hope I give birth to a son, even if he turns out to be a goon later, I won’t be subjected to the pressure from the family to keep producing children till a son is born. Sad but true this attitude has not changed completely. Colourism which is another form of discrimination based on skin tone is so very common and I not being a fair skinned female have enough and
